Preventing kidney injury in septic shock using non-invasive blood flow monitoring
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether guiding fluid and medication adjustments with a non-invasive monitoring tool helps prevent kidney damage in people with septic shock. The tool measures a pressure related to blood flow without needing additional invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are admitted to the ICU with septic shock (a severe infection causing very low blood pressure that needs medication to keep it up)
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) and sedated
- You have an arterial line and a central line (catheters placed in blood vessels for monitoring)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how stable blood pressure and heart rhythm are in people with sepsis who need continuous kidney filtration. If you qualify, it may help researchers better improve care for critically ill patients receiving this treatment.
This trial tests whether different blood pressure medicines protect kidney function better in people with septic shock (a severe infection that causes low blood pressure). It compares norepinephrine (the standard treatment) with other options to see which is best for the kidneys.
This trial tests whether giving fluids and norepinephrine together early can prevent kidney injury in people with septic shock. If you are in the ICU or ER with septic shock, this treatment might help protect your kidneys.
This study tests whether two substances in urine (TIMP2 and IGFBP7) can help doctors predict which patients with sepsis-related kidney problems will get worse. If these markers work, doctors could identify high-risk patients earlier and treat them more aggressively.
This trial looks at acute kidney injury that can happen during sepsis (a serious body-wide infection or suspected infection). It may help improve how doctors detect and manage kidney problems early, especially in intensive care or around major surgery.
This trial examines how the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (a hormone system that helps control blood pressure) changes in patients with septic shock, compared to those with sepsis without shock, cardiogenic shock, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these changes and possibly improve treatment.
